Voicing a strong reaction to the idea of books simply being thrown away, and inspired by the [[Svalbard Global Seed Vault]], Kahle now envisions collecting one copy of every book ever published. "We're not going to get there, but that's our goal", he said. Alongside the books, Kahle plans to store the Internet Archive's old servers, which were replaced in 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/aug/01/internet-archive-books-brewster-kahle|title= Internet Archive founder turns to new information storage device – the book|date= August 1, 2011|work= The Guardian|quote= Brewster Kahle, the man behind a project to file every webpage, now wants to gather one copy of every published book |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130420092930/http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/aug/01/internet-archive-books-brewster-kahle |url-status= live|archive-date=April 20, 2013}}</ref>

===Credit Union===
From 2012 to November 2015, the Internet Archive operated the Internet Archive Federal Credit Union, a [[federal credit union]] based in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]], with the goal of providing access to low- and middle-income people. Throughout its short existence, the IAFCU experienced significant conflicts with the [[National Credit Union Administration]], which severely limited the IAFCU's loan portfolio and concerns over serving [[Bitcoin]] firms. At the time of its dissolution, it consisted of 395 members and was worth $2.5&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cutimes.com/2015/12/18/death-of-a-credit-union-internet-archive-fcu-volun/|title=Death of a Credit Union: Internet Archive FCU Voluntarily Liquidates|first=Peter|last=Strozniak|date=December 18, 2015|work=Credit Union Times|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191006060504/https://www.cutimes.com/2015/12/18/death-of-a-credit-union-internet-archive-fcu-volun/|archive-date=October 6, 2019|access-date=October 6, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.archive.org/2015/11/24/difficult-times-at-our-credit-union/|title=Difficult Times at our Credit Union|website=Internet Archive Blogs|date=November 24, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190616165210/http://blog.archive.org/2015/11/24/difficult-times-at-our-credit-union/|archive-date=June 16, 2019|access-date=October 6, 2019}}</ref>
